Haha, I love how everytime a team leaves WDP cause of ****ty guns and ****ty support, WDP says that they "released the team due to poor performance". Avalanche was their best team of 2005, placing 5th in the NPPL, and they were still "released due to poor performance". Amazing.

But when you consider that WDP's first sponsored team was Avalanche and they were the gods of the professional league at the time, and that since then, WDP hasn't sponsored a team that's produced a single NPPL, NXL or PSP series title, you can see why they'd bee dissapointed. I haven't seen where a WDP team decided to switch sponsors due to "****ty guns and service" either (unless you mean Dynasty leaving because WDP refused to put eyes on their guns and wouldn't give them a private label angel, which really came down to: SP offered them copious amounts of money that WDP couldn't or wouldn't afford). Avalanche was on board to shoot System X guns before going back to WDP, so clearly ****ty guns and ****ty service weren't a major conern for them. And thus far, it looks like Arsenal was purchased by a new party/sponsor, not that they left WDP because of anything to do with guns or service. Probably they wanted to get paid more money, and WDP didn't want to pay it to them, seeing as how they haven't taken a series title in any professional league under their sponsorship. Think about it, if you were sponsoring a middle-top-10 team and they gave you the option of paying them more, or finding a new sponsor, what would you do? Probably, WDP wants a top 3 team for their sponsorship dollar.

A-Team(Arsenal's B team) switched to Egos this year. Ever since then, Arsenal has been complaining about their guns.
Avalanche was never satisfied with WDP either, that's why they left. And make sure to understand that Avalanche left WDP, not the other way around.
